A ‘Grant of Probate’ is the official recognition by the Supreme Court that a Will is legally valid. You may need to get a ‘Grant of Probate’ before you can legally deal with any assets under a deceased person’s Will.

How we can help you

Our caring and competent lawyers can assist you by providing fixed price services, including our:

Probate Check – you may not need to go through the expense of probate;
DIY Probate Review – you do the work and we do the checking – saving you plenty; and
Complete Probate Service – sit back and leave the whole process to us.

Probate Check

We can help you to determine if you need probate, and what will be involved given the terms of the Will and the assets of the deceased.

We do this for a fixed price, which is then fully rebated against the fee we charge if you engage us for either a DIY Probate Review or our Complete Probate Service.

Call us on 1300 654 590 for straight answers about the type of application you may need to make, and what will be involved.

DIY Probate Review

If you’ve already determined that you need a Grant of Probate, and you want to have a go at preparing the Probate Application yourself, we can help you with a DIY Probate Review for a fixed price.

We can review your Probate Application to pick up any common errors or likely issues in getting probate through. If the documents look satisfactory, we can step you through the lodgement process.

Complete Probate Service

If you just want to sit back and have us do all the work – no problem. We will guide you through the process from start to finish for an upfront agreed fixed price.
